memoirs

Anyone here think about writing a memoir? It's something I've always wanted to do but never really got around to doing. I'm starting today. (again...) Just curious to see if anyone else wanted to do it.

I've thought about it. I just don't have enough attention span to actually do it.

I've tried to many times. I'm used to writing fiction, so it's really hard for me to write about my own life and I end up deleting everything, never doing it.

I wrote a hundred pages in one evening months ago. Then never opened the file again...

Feeling a tiny bit hypomanic were we ;) 8) :lol:

That is when I tend to think about mine. I did start searching for publishers at one point but have not contacted any fortunately...

Possibly. ;) But I had a GREAT title and just had to start writing immediately. Also, at that point I didn't think I'd ever get depressed again, so I had a good ending too...

I am super curious about your title - mine was dreadful lol - well not the word Dreadful, the title was dreadful- as an adjective. Coming to think of it Dreadful might be a good title for an autobiography.
